Oxythyrea is a genus of chafer beetles.

Members are typically about 10–15 mm in size, and are usually black with white dots or lines on the thorax, elytra, and abdomen; each species has its own distinctive pattern.

Oxythyrea are active during the day, and are often found on flowers, feeding.

Some of the species are often classified in a closely related genus Leucocelis.
